You need to turn the crankshaft until holes line up in the camshaft and injection pump. Put a 8mm bolt through the hole in the camshaft so that it screws into the head. Put a 6mm bolt through the hole in the pump so that it screw into the head. Then a 8mm rod should slide through a hole near the starter motor so that it enters the flywheel. When you've got all three in, everything is aligned correctly.
